摘要

溶血磷脂酸(lysophosphatidic acid,LPA)是一种十分活跃的磷脂信号分子,具有广泛的生物学效应,包括诱导神经轴突回缩、应力纤维形成、促进血小板凝集、诱导平滑肌收缩、刺激血管平滑肌细胞增殖等。LPA通过其受体及耦联的G蛋白调节细胞内信号途径,介导各种生物学效应。心脏组织中存在多种LPA受体亚型,尤其受体LPA1亚型在心脏组织中的含量仅次于脑,位居第二,暗示LPA在心脏中有重要的生物学功能。该文着重对LPA的5种受体亚型的组织分布、与G蛋白的耦联和对第二信使的活性调节,以及LPA及其受体亚型对心脏细胞的生长调节作一综述。

Abstract

Lysophosphatidic acid （LPA） is a bioactive phospholipid messenger with multiple biological functions, including induction of neurite retraction, stress fiber formation, promotion of platelet aggregation and stimulation of smooth muscle contraction and cell proliferation. LPA exerts various biological functions through G protein-coupled receptors and the downstream cellular signaling pathways. LPA and its receptors may also play important roles in the heart since several LPA receptor subtypes exist in the heart and especially the level of LPAI subtype is the second highest, just lower than that in the brain. The review was focused on 5 subtypes of LPA receptor, mainly on their tissue expression pattern, coupled G proteins and signal pathways, as well as the roles of LPA and its receptors in regulation of cardiac cell growth.
